Well, here it is...my first profile shot of the pregnancy! I wasn't sure if I could bring myself to post it, but then I realized that the last time my sister, Laura, was here it was September! So for any of our readers who are out of town or far away, and especially for Laura, I decided to go for it. Five weeks (or 34 days) to go and this is how my body looks these days. Pretty crazy! We have much to get done in a short couple of weeks, including washing baby clothes, assembling the crib (finally), arranging the nursery furniture, packing our bags for the hospital, finishing up our Childbirth Classes, getting a carseat and, oh yes, Christmas is around the corner, too! Plus I have 21 fourth graders counting on me each day for about four more weeks. So, I'm beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed with all of these things...and this is only before we become parents! There's a whole new life and routine awaiting us after this baby comes. Whew! It's enough to make me wonder if I'll be able to do it, and do it well! I'm incredibly thankful for Brett, who is so supportive, and for our families and friends who are around to pitch in also! I know that we'll welcome the help.*Stay tuned for updated pictures of the nursery
